Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100; find 10 or 100 more or less than a
given number
Recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens,
ones)
Compare and order numbers up to 1000
Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations
Read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and in words
Solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas
NUMBER – addition and subtraction
Add and subtract numbers mentally, including:
a three-digit number and ones
a three-digit number and tens
a three-digit number and hundreds
Add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of
columnar addition and subtraction
Estimate the answer to a calculation and use inverse operations to check answers
Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place
value, and more complex addition and subtraction
NUMBER – multiplication and division
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication
tables
Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using
the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times onedigit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods
Solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and
division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems
in which n objects are connected to m objects
NUMBER - fractions
Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object
into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and
non-unit fractions with small denominators
Recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with
small denominators
Recognise and
denominators
show,
using
diagrams,
equivalent
fractions
with
small
Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for
example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7]
Compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators
)Solve problems that involve all of the above

Measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g);
volume/capacity (l/ml)
Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes
Add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in
practical contexts
Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals
from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks
Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and
compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours; use vocabulary such as
o’clock, a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight
Know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each month,
year and leap year
Compare durations of events [for example to calculate the time taken by particular
events or tasks]
GEOMETRY – properties of shapes
Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D
shapes in different orientations and describe them
Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make
three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are
greater than or less than a right angle
Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.
STATISTICS
Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables
Solve one-step and two-step questions [for example, ‘How many more?’ and ‘How
many fewer?’] using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms
and tables.
